The NT News, a publication mainly known for its clever croc headlines, probably wasn’t fully aware of the controversy it would cause after it shared its Top Ten Definitive Biscuit List to its nearly 50,000 Twitter followers — or, was it?

All of the biscuits to make the top 10 list were Arnott’s (but one), with Jatz coming out on top closely followed by Chicken in a Biscuit.

They beat the likes of Triple Wafer (chocolate only — second spot), Scotch Finger (ninth spot), Kingston (eighth spot) and the original Tim Tam, which came in third place.

Apart from the more than 750 people who commented voicing their frustration over the publication comparing sweet and savoury biscuits, saying it’s “completely insane”, others just couldn’t believe Tim Tam didn’t top the list.

“This is an outrageous insult to the Tim Tam,” another supporter added, before a third fan really pulled at the heart strings. “You might be crocodile experts but you know nothing about biscuits.”

Ouch.

Then there were those who couldn’t fathom how Monte Carlos, Wagon Wheels and Anzac biscuits didn’t even make the cut.

“I’m just going (to) go ahead and assume that BBQ Shapes have been renamed ‘Jatz’,” a hopeful person said.

Others were just there for the comments that went a little something like this:

“Nope, that’s it. You’ve lost your rights as a territory. Back to South Australia you go.”

“Original Tim Tam not at the top of the list. Yeah nah I’m gonna have to officially deny the NT is even part of Aus anymore.”

“Was about to delete Twitter, then I started reading these comments … amazing.”

Even though the NT News welcomed Aussies to have their say in a poll, don’t expect any changes.

“We will ignore it completely, but people do want to have their say. We are the most democratic and transparent newspaper in the country and gracious — so we’ve opened it up, opened it up to the people of Australia so we can then ignore them,” said the man behind the controversial list, the publication’s deputy digital editor David Wood.

FFS NT News, you're mixing dry cracker styles with sweet biscuits in that list. What were you thinking? They are two different types of snack that should be ranked in their own categories, never together.
